    The first few sentences of Yuan Duchu¡¯s refutation were reasonable, but he spoke quickly and as he spoke, he couldn¡¯t help but ask the last sentence - why did the Great Master Refiner act like this?  In fact, this was not only a problem in his mind, but also revealed the doubts of the abbot and the prison.  It is precisely because of this question that the abbot has never given a final conclusion, and that is why today's situation happened.

    His most preferred candidate was Feng Can, who had also been managed by the Feng family. But after asking this question, Yuan Duchu himself came to his senses and secretly thought it was not good.  Sure enough, Luo Duguan didn't need to say anything anymore. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip with a calm expression.  Zhu Doudao never spoke, but his thoughtful expression made people feel depressed.

    There was sudden silence in the sutra hall.

    The prison guard felt embarrassed for a while. Looking at the letter in his hand, he really wanted to open it immediately and see what the great refiner said in the letter.  But he knew that he couldn't do this. How many people dared to open the private message of the great refiner after reading it several times?  At least in Sichuan Province, anyone who dares to do this will never be able to do it in one hand!

    As I was thinking about it, the word "private message" suddenly came to my mind, which made the prison staff feel a little irritated.  Li's huge donation of five thousand taels of property is not considered for now, but how should he explain to Councilor Feng?

    The most fearful thing in doing things is this kind of inexplicable variable. The prison is extremely hesitant at the moment.  It would be best if the Great Refiner had clear instructions. There was nothing he could say about choosing Zhao Ran. No matter who asked, he had a legitimate excuse.  But the question is, what if the Great Refiner didn't mean this at all in this letter?  Even if this letter was not written by the Great Refiner at all, but was sent by an unknown Taoist priest from Jade Emperor Pavilion?  Wouldn't that mean that he offended Feng Tongzhi in vain?  Or maybe he threw away five thousand taels of silver out of thin air?

    Among the senior officials of Wujiyuan, the Supervisory Yuan certainly has much more say than the "Three Capitals". If he insists on having his own way and insists on favoring Feng Can, Feng Can can also officially transfer, but the consequences of doing so will often be  unexpected.  If he offends "Three Capitals", his life may not be easy in the future. The most important thing is that if the Great Refiner really wants to let Zhao Ran relocate, then he must be prepared to bear the wrath of the Great Refiner.

    Can he bear it?

    Therefore, the most ideal result in the mind of the Supervisory Academy is for the "Three Capitals" to stand with him. If the decision to transfer Feng Can or Li Liang is made unanimously by the senior leaders of the hospital, the pressure on his shoulders will be reduced.  Much more.

    The prison has thought about it for a long time, and always feels that it is a very unfair thing to change the previous decision because of a private letter with unknown meaning.  Therefore, he decided to force the "three capitals" to stand with him.

    "The letter from Jade Emperor Pavilion is very unexpected. Senior Brother Yuan is right. If the Great Refiner really wanted to support Zhao Ran, he would have written to me instead of sending private messages to Zhao Ran. Feng Can has been working in the courtyard for three years.  , has a good family background, is familiar with poetry and books, and is a close relative of Feng Tongzhi, the government official. Feng Tongzhi made a special trip to the courtyard to deliver a message for this matter. This is known to several senior brothers Li Liang is smart, well-behaved, and serves the capital.  Li's son, Li promised to donate five thousand taels of silver to help the hospital deliver the baby if the matter is completed Zhuang Huai is simple and sincere, and can endure hardship Cheng'an has excellent martial arts and a loyal character"

    After introducing the characters and origins of the five candidates one by one, the prison guard paused, looked around the "three capitals" and said: "I would like to choose one person between Feng Can and Li Liang to receive the ultimatum. What do you think, senior fellow apprentices?"  ?¡±

    Yuan Duchu immediately agreed: "Yes, these two people have both good qualities In my opinion, Feng Can is better." The hospital property donated by Li Liang has nothing to do with him, so of course he will prefer Feng Can.

    The Supervisor looked at Luo Duguan, but heard Luo Duguan say slowly: "It's better to think about it carefully Speaking of knowledge, Zhao Ran is pretty good. I heard that Counselor Zhou was gathering at Beacon Villa this summer and specially invited Zhao Ran.  When I went there, the books he left behind were vigorous in writing, rigorous in layout, full of charm, and unique in style I also heard that this son had studied in a private school for seven years before being admitted to the hospital, and he had excelled in examinations every year"

    The prison guard looked hesitant and turned to Zhu Dou. Zhu Dou was silent for a moment and said, "Think about it again"

    The prison guard felt frustrated for a while, his eyes wandered over "Sandu"'s face for a moment, and he stamped his feet and said, "I'll go find the abbot, and the abbot will make the decision!"

    "Sandu" was eating tea and waiting in the sutra hall, while the supervisor went straight to the backyard. After an unknown amount of time, the supervisor returned to the sutra hall with a very ugly face.

    Yuan Duchu asked: "What did the abbot say?"

    The Supervisory Academy sighed and said: "The abbot said that since the assessment is to determine the person, then just do the assessment and don't care about anything else."

    Yuan Duchu was stunned: "Real exam?"

    The prison guard gritted his teeth and said, "The real test!"

    ??In the process of selecting Taoist disciples, the most important step is the assessment. The so-called assessment tests the Taoist scriptures.  But in the past practice, this level basically formed?It was just a fake, it was just going through the motions. I didn't expect that the abbot made the decision of "real test".

    "Three Capitals" thought about it secretly and felt that this decision made sense.  Since several candidates are either backed by powerful people or have a lot of money to clear the way, and they can't get through it, then just don't offend anyone and choose based on the assessment results. Whoever is outstanding will be selected.  If you want to blame him for being selected, it would be his own lack of solid homework.  As for whether the Taoist priests who live in the fire have time to do their homework, or whether there is anyone in the Taoist temple to teach them, it doesn't matter - if a bowl of water is flat, everyone's conditions are the same.

    The Supervisor said to Zhu Du: "I'm sorry to trouble you, senior brother. Please ask more questions. The original papers cannot be ranked higher."

    ¡­¡­

    Zhao Ran and the other five people waited outside the Sutra Hall for a long time. It was not known how long it took before they saw Dian Zaofang Zhang Dianzao and Sutra Hall Jiang Gaogong come out hand in hand to let them enter the hall to prepare for the exam.

    Entering the hall, in the middle stands a statue of Guan Yin, the real person of Wen Shi, with a purple hibiscus crown and a flying green feather skirt. He holds a jade album with gold inscriptions in his hand. This is because he passed down the "Tao De Zhen Jing" taught by Lao Jun, which is the Tao Jing.  Zong, so it is for worship.  Under the real statue, on the east and west sides, there are dozens of futons lined up, presumably where the Taoist boys chant sutras.

    At this moment, the Prison Court and the "Three Capitals" were all sitting on futons, with Zhang Dianzao and Jiang Gaogong standing beside them.  I listened to the prison officer's explanation of how the Taoist sects select the best candidates to gain incense, and then asked them to sit down and take the exam.

    Zhang Dianzao and Jiang Gaogong directed several Taoist boys to bring in several slips of paper and placed them in front of the five people. On the slips were pen, ink, paper and inkstones.  Zhao Ran took a breath, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, calmed down his mind, and then opened the roll of paper.

    The types of questions are roughly the same, they are nothing more than writing scriptures silently.  Zhao Ran didn't answer at first, but read carefully from beginning to end.

    The first question gives a beginning, "Use it when the road is in conflict, or it may not be enough", and leave a blank after it. This is to ask the answerer to write down the content of the following chapter silently.  Zhao Ran had already learned from Jiang Gaogong that the answers to the questions in previous years were nothing more than that. They were basically based on the original text of the "Tao De Zhen" and did not go into more depth.  After all, the examination of the contents of the Pyrotechnic Layman's Taoist Scripture seems to be a bit harsh, not to mention that this kind of examination is just a formality.

    But now there is a difference. There is a word "interpretation" attached after the blank. This is to ask the answerer to annotate the dictated scriptures in this chapter.  There are many versions of the commentary on the Tao Te Ching, and everyone has their own interpretation. So which one should be the standard answer?  ¡ª¡ªOf course it's "Lao Zi Xiang Er Zhu".  Therefore, this time the examination is equivalent to adding the classic book "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary", which makes it much more difficult than before.

    Looking at the second question again, "The immortality of the Grain God is called the mysterious female." This is the starting sentence of the sixth chapter of the scripture, and the following also requires annotation.

    Zhao Ran saw this all the way to the tenth question.  Looking at the last question, it is a short essay on the explanation of principles. It requires an explanation of the sentence "Void Yuan gives birth to nature, and nature gives birth to Tao. The Tao of husband and Yuan Xing Yuan Ti, then the innate system is the same."  .  This sentence comes from "Laozi Xisheng Jing", which talks about the origin of Tao and the relationship between Tao and form.

    Huo Gong laymen rarely have time to read scriptures, and there are very few who can read the entire "Tao De Zhen" and have their own understanding, let alone study "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary" and "Laozi Xisheng" accordingly.  through"?  That¡¯s the exclusive homework for chanting Taoist boys!
